Wax Wednesday feat. Savannah Blue, Bonjour Wax Co, Villainous Wax
Wednesday, November 07, 2018
Hi all! It's time for another Wax Wednesday. After several months of booked Wednesdays I finally have time to share what I've been melting. Today's post features scents from Savannah Blue Wax, Bonjour Wax Co., and Villianous Wax.
Savannah Blue Wax - Cafe Mocha with Whip
Scent: Can't find official scent
Cold sniff: Light, creamy coffee possibly with a touch of chocolate (mocha)
Throw: 2 out of 5. Could only smell it in one room and maybe the hallway
Warmer used: AmbiEscents White Pumpkin - 25 watt lightbulb
Amount used: 1/2 sample (about 1 cube)
Price: Unknown, this was a sample
Would I repurchase: Yes
Would I repurchase: Yes
Notes: This was quite light in scent, but that wouldn't deter me from repurchasing. Most coffee based scents I've encountered are overpowered and unbalanced. This scent is perfectly balanced between fresh brewed coffee and whipped cream. It doesn't get more perfect than this.
Bonjour Wax Co - Face Hugger
Scent: Churros, caramel & fried ice cream
Cold sniff: Sweet vanilla with cinnamon and caramel notes
Throw: 4 out of 5. Could smell everywhere but one room
Warmer used: AmbiEscents White Pumpkin - 25 watt lightbulb
Amount used: 1/4 shot
Price: Unknown, this was a sample
Would I repurchase: Yes
Would I repurchase: Yes
Notes: I normally steer clear of churros or things heavy on cinnamon because of a bad experience with another brand, but I'm slowly learning that was just a bad blend and cinnamon can be quite good when handled properly. This is a wonderful blend of scents for autumn.
Bonjour Wax Co - Breakfast with the Pumpkin King
Scent: Pumpkin pancakes & maple syrup
Cold sniff: Pumpkin, pumpkin spice, butter, and sweet syrup
Throw: 4 out of 5. Could smell everywhere but one room
Warmer used: Better Homes & Gardens Marina Art Glass - 25 watt light bulb
Amount used: 1/2 pumpkin
Price: Unknown
Would I repurchase: Yes
Would I repurchase: Yes
Notes: This smells ultra sweet before melting, but the sweetness mellows out a bit when melted. I love using this one as a morning melt when I'm drinking coffee. I'm not a huge breakfast person, so it fills the place of pancakes nicely.
Bonjour Wax Co - Cider Festival
Scent: Apple cider, spun sugar & vanilla bean (Cider Lane type)
Cold sniff: Sweet, crisp apples with a soft vanilla sugar
Throw: 3 out of 5. Could smell in half of the house
Warmer used: AmbiEscents White Pumpkin - 25 watt lightbulb
Amount used: 1/2 skull
Price: unknown
Would I repurchase: Yes (I already have)
Would I repurchase: Yes (I already have)
Notes: I absolutely love Cider Lane and this is a perfect dupe. Cider Lane is pretty much my PSL for autumn.
Bonjour Wax Co - Salt & Burn
Scent: Salted caramel, toasted marshmallow & strudel
Cold sniff: Sweet, salty caramel and marshmallow notes
Throw: 3 out of 5. Could smell in half of the house
Warmer used: AmbiEscents White Pumpkin - 25 watt lightbulb

Would I repurchase: Yes

Warmer used: Better Homes & Gardens Pumpkin - 25 watt lightbulb
